dressed in it's Sunday best, and all alone... 

Even the insects were taking it all in... 

And then the show began.. it was awesome.. this half hour was AMAZING! It truly took my breath away... and made the eyes tear up.. how awesome the view.. the majesty of all... wow.... 

It kind'a looked like God was lining up his ducks this am.. getting everyone on the same page with a big skylight to get our attention... 

I was thinkin' of ole Jake... and wondered if he was out on the rig welding this am... looked west and this is the view I got... wow... 

What a beautiful reflection on the pond this am.. no wind, but the best was yet to come... 

You have to look but this is the view from my morning walk... two lightning strikes at once and in the view of each is a set of high line poles...  

Look who came to see Grandpa and Grandma last night.. yelp, Mr. Austyn Lee Moffat with his mom and dad and his new pet... I think it's a Westie raised by Kim Payne. Kim used to be a customer of ours at the Feed Barn and Jake worked a little while for her in her kennel. The new puppy's name is .... guess that will have to be next time, ole Grandpa's mind only remember half of it.. sorry Austyn..! 

Tough Records Recording Artist Nick Gibson is in our Flatland Studio recording his new CD, yet to be named. It rocks! It will do very well and I predict in writing that several of the songs on the album will be on radio by November...  

Some wheatgrass trying to make seed, but it has been so dry and hot it is really late....  

Some ole johnson grass seed getting ready to mature and fall to ground... 

And then there were left over clouds from the storms and they were really cool...! 

The ole moon was out in force this am.... 

No matter how one looked at the thunderstorm, it was awesome... and hugh... 

Last night there was a chance of rain... haha.. yelp very small chance, and this thunderhead blew up south of us and there are some awesome shots of the towering clouds.. but you had to be there to appreciate it.... 

Went to see Monty Harper of Stillwater preform at the Stillwater Library yesterday with Ann and Heather and Andrew. He was GREAT!  

Don't know what type of flower or shrub this is, but it is blinding in the sun! I was headed into my office when this caught my eye and I had to go back and take some photos of it.. BEAUTIFUL... enjoy the day! 

just plain amazing how much beauty there are in plain ole' weeds!! 

and another...  

Another of God's beautys..... 

Another reflecting pool.. it was truly beautiful today...  

Even among the weeds... comes some awesome beauty! 

And all of a sudden... this is the only time the light shone through the clouds... what an awesome site..  

A big video file of Kaitlyn enjoying the Olive Garden!

a very big video file of Kaitlyn 07082006

Well, what a Saturday Ann and I had! I started out walking my 8 miles and then worked my way through the photos to load online. Jon called about 10 and said to meet them in OKC for lunch at Olive Garden across from Penn Square... and YOU KNOW we could not say no to an Olive Garden dining experience coupled with seeing our grand daughter Kaitlyn and visiting with Jon and Randi... so off we went. As we headed out the door, I looked at all the tires, and the drivers side was a bit low compared to others, but hey... so what, right! So off we went. We ran by the bank, and headed to OKC, arriving there at about 11:35 and made our way to the appointed meeting place. Jon and family joined us about 12:10 and we ordered... ate, and my steak was cooked well done.. and I ordered medium rare... so they made me smile, and we enjoy lunch as the pics will show you... and our short visit with Kaitlyn.. and we said our goodbyes and Jon's headed off to SAMS and mom and I headed to Epperson's Camera... I wanted to see about video camera ... for doing interviews with PCL, etc. and as we parked we noticed the drivers tire has a piece of it coming loose. But, being true campers, haha, we went into the store... got what we needed, came out and headed to find a walmart... which we did and after 2.5 hours wait, the little man made us smile by replacing both tires on the front for only half the price of one!! We then headed home, by way of Radio Shack and of course it is now 7pm.. so CiCi's.. close to Stillwater Radio Shack... and home by 8! This is not the kind of day we had planned, it was good we went by the bank... and good we went to Epperson's... or we might have been headed home with a tire that would have blown out in the heat and .... ok, haha, fast driving!! So in the end, if Jon had not called and we had not got to see Kaitlyn and Randi and Jon... Ann might have had a blow out on the way to work... and she would have been fit to be tied!!! So, all in all... it was a GREAT DAY! Thanks Jonathan, for the invite!! Enjoy the day... maybe it will rain some, huh?
